Showing my Pride

Gay Pride in Boston

This last weekend was Gay Pride in Boston. I love attending Gay Pride. Everyone is just so happy! I make a point of going to it in whatever city I live in.

I was really looking forward to the parade here in Boston because the South End, where I live, is well known for the large number of homosexuals living here. I thought it would be *insane*, given the buildup with advertising, pre-weekend festivities, and the hanging of rainbow flag absolutely everywhere. Well, I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but after living in A'dam for years where the parade takes place on large boats going through the canals, I was a little surprised at how... well... TAME it was here.

Let's just do a quick comparison.

(I am in now way trying to dawg the Boston Gay Pride parade with this.)

It is a hard choice to chose the better parade, I know. I am actually fine just seeing half naked guys, straight or gay.

I didn't get many others of the Boston Pride Parade, but here are some of A'dam Gay Pride highlights of 2007:
